My house is in this image and I don’t like it.
Rat infestation is easy, just get a cat.
Cats don’t get rid of roaches tho.
😞
If you get rid of the roaches the ants will come.
If I get rid of the ants, I get a bacterial infection?
Nope, Rattlesnake Jake
Maybe a lizard
Obviously you need to keep things clean and food put away, but the less obvious thing is that you need to eliminate their access to water. That alone will almost resolve the problem. They can’t live without water. 2 weeks without access and they’ll all die, or migrate away. So fix any leaks, don’t leave water dishes out, and dry your sinks and shower after use. Create an inhospitable environment and they stop using it as a home. Of course none of this matters at all if you live in an apartment and they’re coming over through the walls from the neighbor’s house.
Not my house. I’m still a college-aged dependent. I have a cat, cat’s water bowl is always gonna be accessible. And sinks always have tiny pockets of water and never dry completely. I mean, I just shrug it off let someone else deal with it. My parent are too cheap to get exterminators. Whatever. I’m not dealing with it, I got my depression that I have to manage.

That’s what rats are for! Duh.

I’ve never seen a cockroach in my life, so I’m not sure what this is telling me.
They scatter under light

What’s worse is the ones that don’t scatter when you turn on the lights. Just sit there waiting for you to get out of their territory.
They’re asserting dominance
